Write out what you’re gonna be eating for the week to start.
This can be as simple as taking out a notepad and jotting down Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
EatingWell:What are your favorite places to shop for groceries?
So I’m a huge fan of Instacart.
I typically choose whichever store on online grocery delivery, it will tell you which one has in-store prices.
Whichever one has in-store prices on a given week, that’s the one I’m shopping from.
It’s kind of like Canada’s Trader Joe’s.
EatingWell:Anything else that stays on your usual shopping list year-round?
Our go-to greens are spinach and kale to make salads and to also add to soups and stews.
And then I look at meals: Am I making pasta?
Am I making something with rice?
Am I making something with quinoa?
Really, its meal planning and then building a list from there.
But every week there’s going to be some semblance of those items on a list.
EatingWell:Favorite snacks that help you stay satisfied throughout the day?
We will buy frozen berries, frozen peaches and frozen bananas almost every week to throw into smoothies.
Bodrug:Bolognese is the first meal that I ever veganized.
And it was because I grew up eating and loving bolognese pasta that my mom would make.
I like to make it with mushrooms, bell peppers, onion and spinach.
Add dried basil, saute that up and it will become a meaty mince.
That’s one I would highly recommend.
